Why biceps rhymes the way it does
Biceps sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 101, assonance 12,774, and consonance 169. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Biceps pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
